Splunk Search with PIPE

cj

So I have an application in centos that monitors process creation and sends it to a remote syslog server which is also running the Universal Forwarder. The syslog is then forwarded to Splunk and I split it using the pipe "|" delimiter. However, I found that many applications like awk and sed use "|" to filter which also messes up the field separation in splunk. Does anyone know how to work around this?

This is when I'm in search.

 

 

Thanks

Depends on the context, but you may need to escape the pipe with a backslash \|
